Love where you live: photos from the grand Dharma litter pick

By Christine on Tue, 26 May, 2015 - 14:17

After a dedication ritual at the Buddhist Centre, we strolled down to Ponderosa Park and spent 2 hours collecting litter from the wooded section of the park, which includes the road-way. Once we’d finished, we found a sweet spot for the rupa, transferred our merits, and left the place nicer than when we’d found it.

Sangha Day rejoicings

By Christine on Sun, 9 Nov, 2014 - 14:01I rejoice with delight in the Karaniya Metta Kula!

Formerly the Buddhism and Ecology group, the Metta Kula is a shelter of friendships, in which sangha members can come together to discuss difficult topics of contemporary politics, socio-economic injustices, and concern for the environment and other beings. For modern Buddhists, tremendous opportunities for growth, altruism and sangha building can be found in responding creatively to the environmental crisis.

As a shelter in which individuals are supported to face...
